I have posted this in the legal section as well - but I thought I may get some help in here as well...

Could anyone recommend a good family solicitor?

My 3 month old son's father said his solicitor will be sending me a letter and I want to try and research to get a good solicitor (rather than leaving it to luck) sorted out early..

He threatened me at the beginning that if I did not give him exactly as he wanted he would take me to court and that he gets legal aid and that I would not. Ive given him fantastic access so far - every day available if he wants it (except for 2 separate days when I went to visit family and he was angry he couldnt come)..

He was very nice, all other times and was visiting very often but for 10 mins to 30 mins.. I asked if he could come less often but for longer, he said he would - but then just started staying longer when he did come..

He then raised a load of issues (such as the baby should not sleep in the front room where there is noise in the day - he should be in a quiet room).. and caused a HUGE argument - his solution was to have the baby unsupervised away from my home. Which solves NONE of his issues..

now I am to wait to hear from his solicitor..

There is a whole load of background info but I dont want to bore anyone and just get to the point.. As its an important one!

I may be able to get legal aid - I am not too sure - but I would really like to hear from someone that has had a good solicitor that would accept legal aid...

Thank you all so much in advance!

David Allison at Family Law in Practice in covent garden is the bees knees. Very good, very ethical and practical.
